Dan McGrath made note of this today and I think it could be an interesting concept. Let's face it. This organization needs an overhaul from the bottom up and it's going to take some serious guidance to make it all happen. Reinsdorf is far too loyal to his guys and Williams is not the man to create change around here. Would McDonough be the man to wake up this apathetic fan base? The Hawks appear to be doing fine now. Maybe Chicago's best sports marketer of the last 30 years can move onto his next project and finally help out the team he grew up rooting for.

I have a very hard time believing - especially since his son is now taking more of a role - that Reinsdorf would hand the keys of the franchise over to John McDonough.

Do you think William Wirtz would have hired McDonough - I think not.

Same with Jerry Reinsdorf.

I agree with you it would almost be impossible to see McDonough knowingly accepting a job in order to simply provide cover - but that's not what I meant. McDonough could very well accept a job with the White Sox with everybody intending on him running the show, only to have side show idiots continue with their cloak and dagger routines to the point of paralysis within the organization.

This is a typical "writers" story. Take a totally unrealistic scenario and turn it into a "what if" story. Not going to happen at all.

Yep. This is exactly what people like Dan McGrath and Phil Rogers are experts at.

Hey, here's a thought ! What would happen if the White Sox were allowed to pick 25 players from any of the other 29 teams ! They would take Verlander and Cabrerra from the Tigers, Trout from the Angels, Mauer from the Twins, a few players from the Cardinals and Yankees, etc. ! They would probably be a MUCH better team !!!!

McDonough with his hawks success would want control of all the aspects of his job and not want to be controlled. It seems as though the willingness to be controlled is a qualification in getting a Sox job.

Yep. This is exactly what people like Dan McGrath and Phil Rogers are experts at.
